What was the crime? And is the response proportional to the crime? We wouldn't dare do something like this to Peter Nygard or Sam Bankman-Fried. If all they did was say/write something.
We only associate our failures with African countries because we share a colonial past with them. By design, the former colonies failed to become prosperous independent countries. We adopted a political and governing system designed for a colony. We did not create a new system design for an independent country. So now our leaders are black Bahamians but they're not much different in their treatment of the people (subjects/slaves) as the white British lords who ruled over the Bahamas.
We need to ask ourselves what we want the Bahamas to be and create new systems that promote that outcome. Instead of trying to make a system designed for exploitation work for us.
Things keep burning down while surrounded by water, I'm concerned about our ability to stop fires inland. Don't they have a truck or boat with a high-volume water pump to put out the fires with seawater?
True. However, children are taught to have blind faith and obey authority. Children should be taught to see the world for what it is and to stand up for what is right regardless of authority or laws which don't serve the best interest of the people.
The people behave in the way they're generally treated. Our government goes around the world begging. They sell the country to tourists and foreigners to create servant-type jobs. A job where we must feel grateful for the tourist who allows us to serve them and hope they give us a tip. We need an industry that creates jobs which promote competence, confidence and self-respect
What democracy? We have a merry-go-round of political elite oligarchs. Democracy is about the people having power. Our government has too much power over the people and they abuse it. They hand out the people's money to family and friends. They give a small percentage back to the people to buy their support. Our country is a joke, we need someone who respects the people.

Hu? I thought the excuse was we didn't have enough resources. Why waste resources on this? Let people say/write what they want.

Only him know how we get through everyday,
With all the hike in the price,
Arm and leg we haffi pay,
While our leaders play
